Hey guys, So today I’ll be talking about DIY biology in the context of design, but diving into a specific area of design called ‘[Speculative design](https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/speculative-everything)’, initially championed by[Dunne and Raby](http://www.dunneandraby.co.uk/content/projects) but being adopted by many others in the field. I’ll be looking at the role of DIY biology, and how it can not only further shape and [enrich the design language](https://biohackanddesign.com/bxd/) but help one to speculate about our futures better. I’ll be highlighting some examples of work (by others and myself) that illustrates these ideas. Don’t expect a talk about creating cheap/accessible bio-materials/equipment to solve problems eg. sustainability, medicine, energy etc. But thinking in terms of using hands-on biological experimentations and growing as a design process to provoke, warn and examine implications (not applications) of biotechnology. ---

Thanks Raphael, Looking forward to hear from you the intertwined stories of Speculative Design & ‘Bio-Art’, I am especially interested in you opinion on the change and development of the Speculative Design landscape and whether we are actully now in the ear of Post-Speculative Design. ---

Here a bit information to Martin @mmborch. He is a biological engineer and interaction designer. He co-founded the Copenhagen DIYbio space Biologigaragen in 2010. He have collaborated on several art, design, dance and architectural projects. [mmborch.dk](http://mmborch.dk). He also worked as a management consultant, and now he is setting up a BioFabLab at Roskilde university as an extension to a really amazing Fablab . Aditionally he is setting up a new biological co-working space and incubator, called LIV, at the new singularity university hub in Copenhagen, ---

Thanks Georg! I suppose speculative design has its flaws, and now there are calls to modify how it is done. Probably won’t plug my own projects sadly, but a few examples of workshops and a snapshot of the landscape! ---
